Occassionally they make good moves that gives you hope but then you remember they are the Bengals.

Do you like this guy - good pick up for Cleveland ? Should be a versatile rotational player.

Does this mean you guys need a DE with the 44, or will they look for a cheaper FA DE ? Is that the Bengals 2nd pick ?

Smith is a versatile player that can rotate in at tackle and end, but the reported $5M/yr the Browns offered seems steep for his value. He’s a good player who struggled to get significant snaps in Jacksonville and Cincinnati. But I guess if you have the cap space you take a shot on a guy like that.

Dunlap, Lawson, Johnson and Willis are the current DE rotation, looks like they also plan to have Baker play some DE in certain schemes as they list him as a DE on their roster. They will pickup a DL in the draft but it is not a priority.

[eastside_purple]

I could see them easily adding a DL in rd 2 if they saw someone drop they thought could be an effective pass rusher, but most likely will look to address depth in Rds 3+.

[eastside_purple]

There’s a rumor floating the Bengals and Raiders are discussing a trade involving Burflict. Interesting.

[clarkgriswold]

Burfict in the silver and black. That really seems appropriate.

[Arrogate]

Conflicting reports on that potential trade

[Taco MacArthur]

I really hope that is not the case unless it's for their starting center + the Raiders 1st for Tez and a 3rd or something.

[clarkgriswold]

I heard the Bengals are firing Mike Brown's Administrative Assistant for failing to put the free agent period on his calendar

[eastside_purple]

Bengals sign Eifert to 1-yr deal worth up to $8M.

[eastside_purple]

Would love to see the Bengals sign Ryan Jensen to really shore up the OL going into 2018. I know it won’t happen.....

Good money for the 3 games he'll actually play.

[WinstonSmith]

I like the Eifert deal. One more chance before cutting bait.

Haha. I’m sure it’s an incentive laden deal.

[WinstonSmith]

Kind of surprised he stayed TBH, would much rather be on the Rams if I were him. I respect him more for it, though.

[eastside_purple]

Reports are the bengals are signing Preston Brown. That’s pretty big!

[eastside_purple]

Filling two big needs in FA (LB and OT) is huge going into the draft. I think the priority would be OL/LB/and DB depth early in the draft.

[WinstonSmith]

Awesome signing for the Bengals. They needed a LB like Brown badly.

Semi-convinced I'm living a very detailed dream because there's no way this is the real life Bengals making offseason moves.

[eastside_purple]

Would love to see a ball hawk added to the secondary.

[Termite2]

Signing Preston Brown is a surprise, did Mike Brown die?

[eastside_purple]

So essentially....

Cincinnati Bengals trade one playoff game, 12th overall pick, 6th round pick, AJ McCarron to the Bills.

Buffalo Bills trade Cordy Glenn, 21st overall pick, 5th round pick and Preston Brown the Bengals.

Fair deal?

[WinstonSmith]

Burfict suspended 4 games for PEDs. No wonder they were trying to move him, what a bum.

On the bright side, it's four fewer opportunities for him to get suspended for on field issues.

Especially with 'tez possibly missing the first 4 again this year.

beat me to it



Any chance he gets it together ?

[eastside_purple]

There’s question if the ped violation is related to prescription rx he had for concession treatment. Sounds like a Hail Mary to me, but we’ll see.

Yeah, I'd be curious to see concussion, therapeutic meds, and sample submission on a timeline. Certainly the prescription relating to a game incident and the concussion protocol's finer points would be accounted for in a substance testing program. Growth hormone type violation ? Has this happened with anyone previously ?

[Username1]

Jeeze. Just trade this guy already lol.

Concession treatment? Hot dogs, nachos, popcorn?
